Public administration of Java
open-in-new
<p>In the past, Javanese administrative practices regulated <a href="/facts/Public_policy/fYl7gXaC">public affairs</a> and set behavioral norms in a succession of the island's notable empires, including Sailendra Mataram, <a href="/facts/Majapahit/28e5Eydc">Majapahit</a>, the Demak confederacy, and seventeenth-century Mataram. This tradition continued before succumbing first to colonial practices, and subsequently to global standardization. Today these administrative practices survive in modified form as dominant elements of <a href="/facts/Indonesia/vQnWU3IW">Indonesia</a>'s <a href="/facts/Public_administration/e5bgqajN">public administration</a>. </p>
